Hey John,

I just came down from the Martial Glacier above Ushuaia, Argentina (southern tip of Tierra del Fuego on the Beagle Channel).  It is a really beautiful spot – snow covered mountains at your back and water (with more snow covered mountains) in front of you.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I left one of the Sam stones up on the glacier high above the city.  I took some pictures of the views from there – I´ll send them to you when I get back (as well as add to the website).  It looked like there were a lot of great snowboarding options there in winter (as long as you didn´t mind walking your board back up afterwards – no chairlifts).

I will be boarding the boat for Antarctica tomorrow.  They technically don´t want you to take or leave anything on the continent, but if you are OK with a ¨¨don´t ask, don´t tell¨policy, then I am too…….
